Re: FLASH: Coloring buttons based on values received

[Nigel Randsley-Pena]

Ed,



Ok, based on your example. Two buttons, let's say A and B.

Each has to be colour coded in red, yellow, and green.

I would do it this way :

First create the six different buttons Ared, Ayellow,... etc.

Now create a new movie clip call it Abutton. First frame is button Ared,

second frame is button Ayellow... Don't forget to place a stop action on

the first frame.

Now do the same for a second movie clip Bbutton.

You'll now have in your symbols lib two movie clips and six buttons.

Switch to stage view and place instances of these movie clips where you

want them. Use tell target actions if need be to set the initial state

of the buttons, i.e. Abutton should be yellow at first or whatever.

Now all you have to do is read your data decide what the button state

for A and B should be and use a telltarget to set them accordingly.
